Definitions
- the present invention is in the field of molecular biology. Particularly, the present invention relates to the detection of nucleic acids, e.g. in amplification reactions such as polymerase chain reactions (PCR).
- PCR polymerase chain reactions
- the present invention is particularly useful in genotyping, quantitative PCR, real-time PCR and multiplex-PCR.
- the present invention particularly relates to dyes used in PCR.
- Fluorescent dyes have a wide application in analytical chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology, such as in DNA sequencing and during detection and amplification of nucleic acids. Fluorescent dyes absorb light of a specific wavelength ("excitation") and re-emit energy at a different specific wavelength (“emission”). The fluorescent dyes are frequently used as molecular labels attached to probes or other biomolecules. Multiplex polymerase chain reactions (multiplex PCR) is a PCR technique that enables amplification of two or more products in parallel in a single reaction tube. It is widely used in genotyping applications and different areas of molecular biology, e.g.
- Multiplex PCR can also be used for qualitative and semi-quantitative gene expression analysis using cDNA as a starting template or in combination with reverse transcription with mRNA as starting material.
- the nucleic acids analyzed may for example originate from a variety of eukaryotic (human, animal or plant) and prokaryotic (bacterial) or viral sources.
- Multiplex PCR is for example used for the simultaneous detection of multiple marker genes and/or their polymorphisms, e.g. short tandem repeats (STRs) or deletion insertion polymorphisms (DIPS or Indels). Detection of the amplification products and their genotyping is usually carried out by multiple color fluorescence detection after electrophorectic separation (e.g. capillary gel electrophoresis) in DNA sequencers. In real-time, quantitative multiplex PCR, the amplification of multiple target sequences can be monitored at the same time by simultaneous detection of fluorescence of different fluorescent dyes.
- STRs short tandem repeats
- DIPS or Indels deletion insertion polymorphisms
- At least one primer of each primer pair used during amplification is labeled by covalently bond fluorescent dye at is 5'-OH end or at an internal base.
- thermocyclers for real-time PCR
- DNA sequencers used in multiplex PCR are adapted for the simultaneous detection of 3 to 5 different fluorescent dyes.
- one of the fluorescent dyes is used as a label of a length standard when gel electrophoresis analysis is performed.
- the apparatuses used for detection are often designed and calibrated for the use of combinations of very specific fluorescent dyes, i.e. in terms of excitation and detection wavelengths and filters used.
- the optical set-up of many devices encompasses the use of one Argon laser (488nm) or a solid state diode (505 nm), a spectrograph, virtual filters, in combination with a CCD camera and algorithms for spectral calculation. This set-up severely limits the amount of dyes that may be used.
- the present invention relates to specific combinations of fluorescent dyes for the detection of fluorescently labeled nucleic acids.
- the invention relates to a method for the simultaneous detection of at least four nucleic acids labeled with a covalently attached dye in a sample comprising the step of:
- Chromeo 494 must be one of the four selected
- the invention also relates to a method for the simultaneous detection of at least four amplification products from an amplification reaction, comprising the steps of
- a fluorescent dye is covalently attached to said amplification product and/or to said oligonucleotide probe and/or to said primer and/or to at least one primer of said primer pair and optionally to a size marker, (iv) and wherein at least four different dyes are used for differentiating the at least four amplification products wherein, the dyes may be selected from the group comprising:
- a second dye which is DY-530, HEX or ATTO 532 or a blend thereof
- a fourth dye which is ATT0565, DY-510XL or ROX or a blend thereof
- a fifth dye which is DY632 or DY520-XL or a blend thereof
- one dye must be Chromeo 494.
- the invention relates to a kit for multiplex PCR or PCR comprising at least four different fluorescent dyes suitable for the covalent attachment to nucleotides, primers, size markers or oligonucleotide probes used in multiplex PCR, wherein the four dyes may be selected from the six groups below:
- one dye must be Chromeo 494.

The amplification products may then be unified for detection. Thus, detection may in some cases occur during amplification, e.g. after or during each cycle of a polymerase chain reaction and/or after the complete amplification reaction.
- the method additionally comprises the step of separating the amplification products by their size or molecular weight before detecting said amplification products. Separation by size or molecular weight can e.g. be performed using electrophoresis, e.g. gel electrophoresis, or chromatographical techniques.
- the amplification reaction is preferably selected from the group comprising polymerase chain reaction (PCR), ligase chain reaction (LCR), transcription-based amplification system (TAS), nucleic acid sequence based amplification (NASBA), rolling circle amplification (RCA), transcription-mediated amplification (TMA), self- sustaining sequence replication (3SR), QP amplification and (thermostable) helicase dependent amplification ((t)HAD). More preferably the amplification reaction is a PCR. Most preferably, the amplification reaction is a multiplex PCR, i.e. the amplification of more than one target nucleic acid sequence in a single tube, e.g.
- loci target nucleic acid sequences
- 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,16, 17,18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 or 40 loci may be amplified simultaneously.
- the nucleic acid sequences may be amplified simultaneously, e.g. in one reaction tube or separately, e.g. in different reaction tubes. It is preferred in the methods of the present invention that said loci are amplified simultaneously.
- the amplification reaction is a multiplex PCR.
- the reaction additionally comprises the step of separating the amplification products by their size or molecular weight before detecting said amplification products.

- one dye must be Chromeo 494.
- the invention relates to a kit comprising different dyes, these being:
- the invention relates to a kit for multiplex PCR or PCR comprising at least six different fluorescent dyes suitable for the covalent attachment to nucleotides, primers, size markers or oligonucleotide probes used in multiplex PCR, wherein the six dyes may be selected from the six groups below:
- the amplification is an amplification of a forensic sample.
- Object of the invention is the use of six defined fluorescent dyes that allow simultaneous detection of PCR products in capillary electrophoresis (CE).
- CE capillary electrophoresis
- the challenge in choosing the fluorescent dyes is dependent on many factors.
- Forensic labs mainly use CE instruments from ABI (ThermoFisher).
- the optical setup of these devices consists of a single Argon- (488nm) or provisionsolide state" diode-laser (505nm), a spectrograph, virtual filter sets in combination with CCD-cameras and algorithms for spectral calibration, which is entirely different from other CE-instruments or realtime PCR thermocyclers. This specific optical setup strongly limits compatibility of various dyes and thus the repertoire thereof.
- the aim is to achieve a minimal overlap of emission spectra of six different fluorescent dyes, a higher sensitivity, less crosstalk between the color channels, as well as compatibility with the ABI 3500 CE instrument.
- a panel of dyes were studied that meet these criteria while matching to the colors of a fluorescence dye combination, which can be used for DNA oligonucleotide labeling and simultaneous detection by DNA sequencing automates, consisting of 6-FAM, DY-530, ATTO550, DY510-XL and DY632.
- Fig. 1 shows the spectral profile of this matrix standard.
- Literature, patent, and internet searches revealed a panel of dyes that, according to the manufacturer, exhibit emission peaks within the defined spectral emission range (peak emission between 592 nm and 641 nm) for the sixth dye (Table 1).
- Table 1 shows a list of candidates for the sixth dye as well as the source, feasibility of a CE-matrix with the dye, amount of background signal, and sensitivity.
- Six candidates could be calibrated successfully, of which five dyes yielded too high background signals or too low signal intensities. Only one dye (Chromeo 494) showed a very low background and strong signal intensity in combination with a five color dyeset, e.g. consisting of 6-FAM, DY-530, ATTO550, ATT0565 and DY632.
- a high sensitivity of the multiplex PCR assay is achieved by the low background noise and the strong signal intensity. This high sensitivity is a key factor, especially in forensic analyses coping with minuscule amounts of DNA samples.
- the crosstalk into the other color channels is minimized by the matching spectrum of the Chromeo 494 with respect to a five color dyeset, e.g. consisting of 6-FAM, DY-530, ATTO550, ATT0565 and DY632. This reduces the occurrence of artefact peaks and facilitates the evaluation and interpretation of results.
- a five color dyeset e.g. consisting of 6-FAM, DY-530, ATTO550, ATT0565 and DY632.
- This dye combination allows the amplification of more than 20 STR markers in a multiplex PCR and subsequent discrete separation by CE. This results in a distinct separation of single markers while retaining a reduced maximum length of PCR amplicons.

- the separation of dye-labelled DNA fragments by size in bp is shown.
- the signal intensities of the six dyes are very similar with respect to each other.
- the strong signals of Chromeo 494 result in an identical sensitivity of PCR-products in the purple channel in comparison to the other channels.
- the background signals are very low.
- Fig. 8 shows the results of a multiplex PCR in which the forward primers of the systems CSF1PO, D13S317 and D5S818 were labelled with Chromeo 494 as the sixth dye.
- 500pg human DNA was used as template.
- the signal intensities of PCR products labelled with Chromeo 494 are sufficiently strong (approx. 8000 rfu), are comparable to those of the other channels and enable a high PCR sensitivity.
- Fig. 9 shows results of a multiplex-PCR in which the forward primer of the system CSF1PO is labelled with ATTO 594 as the sixth dye.
- 500pg human DNA was used as template.
- the signal intensities of PCR-products labelled with ATTO 594 are substantially lower than those of the other channels (approx. 800 rfu to 4000 rfu.
